Help with my new Blackberry 8830

mayacamas · 8 Aug 2007, 09:30 AM

I had a Treo 650 and used Chatteremail and Fastmail. I love fastmail and I want to use it with my Blackberry.

How do I set up the Blackberry to respond to email from the accounts being sent? For example if its from a hotmail account, so it looks like its from username@hotmail?

I am going crazy trying to figure this out.

Welcome to the forums mayacamas;

how to set the 'from address' would be client specific (re Chatteremail)

Moderators: I am wondering if this this thread might get more attention in a different forum.....

You'll need to set up an account for each "From" on the blackberry site.

See the article I just created on the wiki.

Just switched an 8830 from getting mail from gmail to getting mail from fastmail.

It seems that mail gets from gmail to the phone instantly, but from fastmail it takes a few minutes.

It seems like blackberry is polling fastmail via IMAP every 10 minutes or so (instead of using IDLE) while gmail is using something like it for instant transfers.

Can anyone confirm or explain this?

I use BIS through AT&T/Cingular and have my emails delivered via IMAP. Messages are certainly polled using this method. If you required quicker delivery time, you could use the Desktop Redirector which would be nearly instant, but it'd require having your computer running to receive email.
